Harmonious Living Amidst Lush Tea Gardens 

Step into a sanctuary of timeless design and natural tranquility in the heart of Oakland Hills. Designed by renowned UC architect Seiichi Kami, this authentic Japanese Minka-style wooden home masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern sophistication, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural artistry.

The moment you enter, a 25-foot vaulted cathedral ceiling soars above, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and serenity. Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the open-concept living area and framing picturesque views of the home’s meticulously curated Japanese tea gardens and the rolling hills of Knowland Park beyond. The fluid, minimalist design invites both quiet reflection and effortless entertaining, with every detail fostering harmony and balance. Step onto the wrap-around deck and immerse yourself in a private oasis. The Zen-inspired gardens feature a sprawling tranquil koi ponds, stone pathways, and sculpted maples. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or savoring morning tea, this outdoor haven elevates everyday moments into rituals of peace.

Tucked in the coveted Oakland Hills, this home balances secluded serenity with convenience. Enjoy proximity to premier golf courses, scenic parks, and easy freeway access for commuters. More than a home, this is a lifestyle of intentional living. The Minka philosophy—rooted in simplicity, natural materials, and unity with nature—permeates every corner, offering a refuge from the modern world.

Homes of this caliber and craftsmanship seldom grace the market. Schedule your private tour today and experience the transformative energy of 293 Elysian Fields Drive.

about this

Neighborhood

The Skyline/Hillcrest Estates neighborhood is small in footprint and population, encompassing nearly one square mile with nearly 900 residents, but its perch on top of the Oakland Hills and surrounding green space make for scenic views and areas for locals to relax and play. Bordered by the Leona Canyon Regional Open Space, Leona Heights Park, and Redwood Regional Park, the neighborhood's large, contemporary homes offer amenities like patios and tennis courts. 
Skyline/Hillcrest Estates offers locals and visitors a wealth of parks and trails for picnicking and hiking. Joaquin Miller Park, Berkeley Fire Trails, and Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve are picturesque landscapes and challenging walks for you and your canine friends. Venture out of the neighborhood and you’ll enter the larger environs of Montclair, including its community parks and recreation and close proximity to commuting options — including the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) casual carpool, and AC Transit bus lines.
